EDITORS COMMENTS
Trolling for Salmon in Oak Bay, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada - Circa 1907 This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in Oak Bay, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The image, taken around 1907, depicts a group of intrepid fishermen in a traditional Canadian canoe, skillfully trolling for salmon in the crystal-clear waters of Oak Bay. The serene setting is framed by the lush, green foliage of the surrounding oak trees, their leaves casting dappled sunlight onto the water. The fishermen, dressed in heavy coats and hats, are fully immersed in their pursuit of the prized salmon. One man expertly wields a long, wooden oar, propelling the canoe forward, while another deftly maneuvers a fishing line adorned with a lure. The third fisherman, poised at the ready, holds a large net to secure their catch. The salmon, a staple of the Pacific Northwest, were a vital source of sustenance for the local Indigenous peoples and early settlers. Trolling, a popular fishing method, involved dragging a baited line behind a boat or canoe to attract the fish. The Columbia River system, which flows into the Pacific Ocean, was teeming with salmon, making it an ideal location for this traditional fishing practice. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of fishing in Oak Bay and the strong connection between the community and the natural beauty of the area. It serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures and the importance of preserving the natural resources that have shaped the region's history and identity.
